Definitions

  • Figure 6 is a fragmentary view similar to Figure 4 showing the front shield secured against displacement from the form of recess shown in Figure 4 by a staking operation;
  • Figure 10 is similar to Figure 9 but shows the punch in operated position after cutting and driving one of the shields from a strip of transparent material downward into place over one side of the character-bearing plaque;
  • the plaque herein shown bears the capital letter E and this plaque as W811 as similar ones bearing the different characters of a font may be punched from a strip of negative film de- 4 veloped and fixed after photographically impressing the characters thereon at suitably spaced intervals.
  • the individual plaques conform in size and shape to the outlines of the recess 9 so that when inserted in such recess they will have no lateral play.
  • Pins 24 are carried by the punch holder and enter aligning holes 25 which are pierced in the film strip, at opposite sides of the characters, at the time the successive, characters are exposed on the undeveloped strip.
  • Shields of such materials ma be punched from sheet stock of the required thickness by a punch such as 2i ( Figures 9 and and by using the recessed element itself as the die.
  • the shield is sheared to the exact size of the recess, thus providing the required nice fit for securely holding it in place and sealing the openings at each side.
  • the effectiveness of the security and sealing resulting from the application of flexible covering material in this direct manner, using the element itself as the die, will be further discussed hereinafter.
  • cover members are flush with the web portions so that there are no pockets to collect dirt. Also the cover members seal the plaque against dirt, the atmosphere and finger marks, and hold the plaque firmly in place without distorting the character carried by the plaque.
  • the fact that the cover members are in contact with both sides of the plaque has the advantage of holding against movement any microscopic foreign particles which might unavoidably be sealed between the plaque and the cover members 'so that such foreign particles are not free to shift about and collect at one point,
  • a strip of cover material 3i overlies the film strip 23 carrying the characters.
  • a single punching operation cuts first the plaque and then the cover member and pushes both to their proper position against the front shoulder in the opening.
  • the plaque and both covers may be pressed into place at the same time, simply by employing opposing punches with the element suitably held between them.
  • the front shield II and the char acter bearing plaque 5 are shown as a laminated unit designated [4. Units of this kind may be formed by punching them from a strip of developed film on which a succession of characters have been photographed, such strip then being cemented to material such as clear cellulose acetate film of the proper thickness by any well known method of forming such laminae.
  • the laminated unit I4 may be staked in place in the recess 9 and then hot-pressed by the tool IE to seal it to the walls of the recess, and the rear shield 52 may be similarly sealed in its recess, all in the manner hereinabove outlined.
